Group of 2 United States Mint Set in Original Government Packaging! From 1996-1997 with 21 Coins Inside!. Group of 2 United State Mint Set from 1996-1997 included a total of 21 coins. The 1996 Mint Set was highlighted by the inclusion of a specially produced coin to mark the 50th anniversary of the Roosevelt Dime. As the coin was only available through the annual set. The 1996-W Roosevelt Dime was struck at the West Point Mint and carried the “W” mint mark. This extra coin was included in addition to the Kennedy Halves, Washington Quarters, Roosevelt Dimes, Jefferson Nickels, and Lincoln Cents struck at the Philadelphia and Denver Mints. The 1996-W dime was significant, because unlike the other coins it would not be issued for circulation. Packaging for the set highlighted the 50th anniversary of the Roosevelt Dime and the special 1996-W issue on the outer envelope, certificate of authenticity, and an additional insert. The ten regular coins and two mint tokens were sealed within cellophane packs in the usual format. The separate 1996-W Roosevelt Dime was placed within its own smaller individual pack. Each 1997 Mint Set includes uncirculated examples of the Kennedy Half Dollar, Washington Quarter, Roosevelt Dime, Jefferson Nickel, and Lincoln Cent. A total of ten coins are included, comprised of one example each from the Philadelphia and Denver Mints. Additional tokens are included with large sized mint marks “P” and “D”. Packaging for the annual set was updated for the outer illustrated envelope. Against a marbled background was the title “The 1997 United States Uncirculated Coin Set”. Within the envelope were a certificate of authenticity signed by the Director of the Mint and two mylar packs containing the coins. The coins and token from the Philadelphia and Denver Mints were packaged separately.
